Phaedron

If we can avoid the reset problem, I'd vote yes... otherwise, I just see a bunch of peaceful alliances who log in to infra farm on a non-daily basis being effectively removed from the game once everyone gets set to "none" -- it'd create a global chaos in SE that would cause the one thing to happen that we don't want to see: our already dwindling numbers drop further. Without a doubt it's a better alliance management system, but the reset is very worrisome for player retention.

I'm still not entirely sure how HB made it over to "that side", but it does make me sad. That said, so many sanctioned alliances have hit in weeks 2, 3, 4, etc... all this complaining about hitting late? Seems to me you're upset that some of the newer alliances have finally learned their lesson and not jumped in front of you as meat shields in the first round. Kudos to HB in that regard.

Kudos to Polaris on a drama-free DoW. Just the facts. Done.

Wow... just the other day I was talking to the guy... he did have such a great personality. Truly one I wish could have stayed with this world longer.

Sorry folks from HB for getting here first... but this post proves, if nothing else, that winter is indeed coming.

When there's more OOC than IC on the first page, doesn't that usually equal closed thread?

While I can't speak for The Apparatus as a whole, I wish all the best for Frank and Kippa -- you have some solid protectors if nothing else [OOC: I too, can't believe it took this long for a borg-themed alliance. It boggles the mind that My Little Pony came first. QR barcodes are so 2008 though.]

Pacifica would have attracted this much attention without the 30 days notice. All the 30 days notice accomplished was forcing a few alliances into the uncomfortable position of signing new treaties and breaking old ones (more over the past 30 days than usual) *just in case* Pacifica was really prepared to roll someone they didn't like. Pacfica: If you really want to CHANGE things, you'll do a heck of a lot more than spending 30 days prepping for wargames. I liked the OP. I'm liking Pacificans more and more these days... heck, we just lost our new Professor to you guys. Just come on... do more. I know you can. I want you to. So do many many others. As it is, this is an opportunity for our good friends and allies in Sparta to gain valuable simulated wartime experience with an implacable foe, so I salute them for being part of them. o/ Sparta

[quote name='Eff Jay' timestamp='1349024161' post='3035986'] Wooohoo, I got a text while i was sleeping at 1:30am in the morning about this. Julia's like lets upgrade the treaty...I'm like @_- ...Yeah ok.... <3 you App MHA love all around! P.S. Best reason to be woken up ever! [/quote] She said she had to promise you donuts or something. Seems like a fair deal for a trium signature. [quote name='Dre4mwe4ver' timestamp='1349024575' post='3035987'] I approve very much that Article I survived the re-write. [/quote] I wouldn't have had it any other way. In fact, I added to it [quote name='Dre4mwe4ver' timestamp='1349024575' post='3035987'] It's interesting, because people don't realize the real reason behind this particular upgrade... [spoiler]Julia was probably thinking to herself: "Hey, it's my last day. Should sign one more thing and go post it on the OWF before I retire. Yeah, let's do that." [/spoiler] [/quote] You're closer to the truth than most people who read this would actually think. MHApparatus has ALWAYS been an emergency treaty. We only do things to it on limited time frames and for silly reasons.

[quote name='DeathAdder' timestamp='1348989466' post='3035891'] I totally missed this. Yes, "Γ" or "Gamma" is the Greek letter for C. Sources: http://greece.mrdonn.org/greekalphabet.GIF and Alex is Greek. As are a few Spartans, and some of us at least have a fluent understanding of Greek. The treaty is Ancient Greek. [/quote] Yeah, but Alex definitely answered my question in a way that would make my Yaya proud. [ooc]I've been to Greece a couple of times, but never was able to pick up more than the alphabet and a few words.[/ooc] [quote name='Alexandros o Megas' timestamp='1348990192' post='3035894'] You can say that Γ is closer in pronunciation with G Phaedron, but when you use numbering in Greek language (the ancient Greek at least) then A goes for 1, B for 2, Γ for 3 etc., so that is the proper order. So 2012 for example is: ͵βιβʹ [/quote] [nerd]Cool. What dialect of ancient Greek is it? (I studied Koine, which I imagine would have a few more breathing marks on initial vowels)[/nerd] Yiassas, filo mou.

Yeah, the Greek is better than the English. o/ Sparta Hellas, you have some really nice allies there

What? I had no part in this farce!

I disagree that "Γ" is the Greek letter "C". Is that how it works? Shouldn't you have just done article 1, or article alpha? Hopefully it wasn't just some online translator.

We were first, but I guess this is cool too. GL to both parties
